how did the hospital i ended up in find my husbands doctor and inform him I was taking his meds?
hi,
I was recently in the psych ward at some hospital and I admitted I was illegally taking dilaudid. I also told them I took some of my husbands methadone. Turns out they called his doctor and eliminated his perscription! Is this legal?

It's legal, although on the borderline in terms of ethics.
Methadone is a respiratory depressant, and as such can cause death. There is a loophole in the confidentiality laws that provide an exception whenever there are "life threatening" circumstances.
